Real Madrid Rally to Beat Mallorca 2-1 Despite VAR Woes

Real Madrid secured a third consecutive La Liga win with a 2-1 comeback at Santiago Bernabéu despite VAR disallowing three goals for offsides and handball, maintaining a perfect start.

  • On Saturday, Real Madrid recovered from a goal down to beat RCD Mallorca 2-1 at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, despite three goals overturned after VAR reviews that frustrated fans.
  • VAR reviews determined key strikes were offside or involved handball, ruling Kylian Mbappé marginally offside multiple times and nullifying Arda Guler's effort for handball ten minutes after the break.
  • After 72 minutes, Arda Guler produced one goal, two shots on target and 93% passing accuracy, earning praise from fans.
  • The victory leaves Real Madrid with a 100% winning start to the LaLiga 2025/26 season and Álvaro Carreras's goalline clearance proved decisive in securing the three points.
  • Xabi Alonso said he goes into the international break pleased, with most of his squad heading away before returning to face Real Sociedad on September 13 and the UEFA Champions League starting September 16.
